Ramayana Day 6: ₹823 crore worldwide, past Chhaava's lifetime total

Ramayana: Part 1 has crossed ₹823 crore worldwide in six days and overtaken the lifetime global gross of Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava, which stands at about ₹807 crore. The Nitesh Tiwari film, starring Ranbir Kapoor, earned ₹94.10 crore net in India on Tuesday (10 November), according to trade tracker Sacnilk, taking its India net total to ₹440.45 crore and its India gross to ₹526.50 crore.

Tuesday's collection was 12.5% lower than Monday's ₹107.50 crore, the film's biggest day so far and, by trade reports, the highest Monday ever for an Indian film. Hindustan Times called Tuesday the film's “best Tuesday ever” and said the ₹94 crore figure broke Baahubali 2's ₹59 crore record. The post-Diwali holidays, including Govardhan Puja, helped, and Bhai Dooj falls on Wednesday, Day 7. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh said the film is eyeing about ₹430 crore net for an extended first week, The Indian Express reported.

Overseas, the film made ₹35 crore on Tuesday, taking its overseas gross to ₹297 crore, Sacnilk's figures show. The Hindi version contributed ₹76 crore net on Tuesday from 19,845 shows at 54.6% occupancy, with a Hindi net of ₹336 crore after six days. Kannada added ₹7.75 crore, Telugu ₹4 crore, Tamil ₹3.60 crore and Malayalam ₹2.75 crore. The film has also become the first Hindi-origin film to cross ₹100 crore net from its South Indian dubbed versions, with ₹104.45 crore in six days, The Indian Express reported.

The recovery follows a slower start than the trade expected for a film reportedly made on a very large budget. Hindustan Times noted that its opening weekend of ₹507 crore worldwide was “slightly below par”, and that it later passed Baahubali: The Beginning, 2.0, PK and Chhaava as the holiday business picked up. The Indian Express reports it is now the second highest-grossing film of Ranbir Kapoor's career worldwide, behind Animal.

Ramayana: Part 1 released on 5 November, with Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. The second part is due on Diwali 2028. These are trade estimates and are usually revised. As The Indian Idiot reported earlier, the film crossed ₹200 crore net in India on Day 4.
